In fact, the goals of
supply chain management
and EHS are
aligned in many ways - building value for the enterprise
through continuous improvement in operational efficiency,
business continuity, and external relationships. In
particular, collaboration between EHS staff in supplier and
customer organizations can reveal new, mutually beneficial
solutions to product and package design, materials management,
transportation, and other supply chain issues.

A number of GEMI member companies have leveraged their EHS
capabilities to improve supply chain performance and enhance
shareholder value. The range of potential EHS contributions
includes tangible financial gains, such as converting waste
materials into useful byproducts, as well as enhancement of
key value drivers such as technological innovation, employee
productivity, and reputation.

GEMI has developed this tool to help other companies realize
these types of advantages. Click on the links above to get
